Sony PC110E video camera that is not recognised by PC

Hello I have a sony PC110E video camera that i want to download content from onto my PC. It connects via 4 PIN Firewire to USB. The PC does not recognise the device even though I've downloaded the USB drive from Sony. Any ideas?

Buy a 4 to 4 pin or 4to 6 firewire cable (depending of Your PC model). Connect it to PC. In any case, the system must to recognize firewire device and capture the images. If PC don't want to see Your cam via direct firewire connection it means the firewire out is broken and needs to be repaired.

The problem is not the cable! To Fix this problem follow steps below:1- Click the Start Button, type devmgmt.msc in the “Start Search” box and press Enter.2- Expand the "IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controllers" node in the device tree on the right hand pane3- Right click the host controller node select "Update driver software ..."4- Select "Browse my computer for driver software"5- Select "let me pick from a list of device driver on my computer ..." and Check the box before “Show compatible hardware”.6. Choose the second option---1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy), and click next to update the driver.

Go to manufacture's website. Find the download or support tab. Then look for the very latest drivers for your camera. Then download onto pc, double-click to extract and install the driver, then restart pc, Then turn on camera first, then start any programs you are using, then finally connect with usb/i-link/HD cable.
